The 32GB "hard dirve" is the *total unformatted" size. So, you format it, and usuable space on the whole drive comes down to 28GB. Then Windows nstalls the first time you turn it on, and that cuts the space in half. So, to answer your question, 32GB does NOT include the OS. On mine that I've had for about a month, Windows 10 now takes up 10.1GB, the pagefile.sys hidden system file takes another 2.7GB, ProgramData takes another 1.6 Gigs (this is mostly browser cache) Programs are about 3GB (I used the store to take it out of S mode in the first hour) And miscellaneous junk takes another .3GB. All told, this leaves me a little over 11GB free. (11,481,899,008 bytes free actually) I turned off hibernation to get rid of its 3 GB file (its always on - closing the lid makes it sleep so its instant-on like an ipad) Also, its done about 4 or fine routine Windows updates. I had to run diskcleanup after one of them to get back about 3GB. I love this little machine. Sure another 2 or 4GB of ram would be nice, and a larger HD too, but for what it is and the great price I got it in store, WOW does it beat the !@#%^&(* out of some crappy android tablet. One other tip - get an ad blocker for your chrome or firefox. I don't care about the ads themselves, but it dramatically reduces the number of hidden additional sites that each web page tries to connect to. So, your browsing speed will go up dramatically.
